I ran home for some family stuff this weekend, and had the opportunity to go back to Our Lady of Lourdes, my home parish, for the first time since joining TFA back in June. Upon walking in with my mother, we were pointed out, "We need you!" Turns out they were desperate for Eucharistic Ministers. Besides the fact that our church changed all the rules since the last time I was there, I was told to fake like I knew what I was doing and got to participate in the mass.
Scripture Readings: Acts 2:14, 22-33 Psalm 16:1-2a+5, 7-8, 9-10, 11 1 Peter 1:17-21 Luke 24:13-35
Will Jesus’ crucifixion be a story of despair or hope? It is up to those left behind to decide.
In the readings for this Sunday, we hear opposite reactions to the same event. Jesus had been nailed to the cross. He suffered, died and was buried. And now he was gone from the tomb.
